Building a PC

I had the opportunity to build my first computer when I was 11 years old. My dad thought it would be a good idea to learn how to make a computer rather than buy a new one. I enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time with my dad while also developing a love for the way that computer parts work harmoniously together.

While being financially responsible, I have rebuilt and added new parts to my computer throughout the last couple of years. Although not necessary, I enjoyed being able to connect with those who also were interested in computers and learn from them as well.
